# qemutest

A basic QEMU GUI to work as a quick VirtualBox replacement. This has basic settings which are similar to a basic VirtualBox machine. The difference being that it is just meant to run once (it doesn't remember settings). This does not rely on VirtualBox (which has some [questionable closed source parts](https://www.whonix.org/wiki/KVM#Why_Use_KVM_Over_VirtualBox.3F)), rather uses QEMU for virtualization and optionally KVM which speeds up the virtualization.

## Features:

- Simple interface
- Small number of settings (as if it's a good thing :) )
- Single binary
- No deps specific to the app (but requires `qemu` and optionally `kvm` to run virtual machines)
- Easy build process
- Disk image creation dialog

## Compiling and running

Make sure you have [Lazarus IDE](https://lazarus-ide.org) installed. This will also need QEMU and KVM on runtime.

Open the `proj_qemutest1.lpi` on Lazarus. Then either click the Green Run button on toolbar or hit **Run - Run** menu. It should run the program. You should also build the binary under `/bin` folder.
